I don’t really buy games much these days. I was trying to see what games would work on Mac and was pleased to see a new Assassin’s Creed game is coming out on Mac natively. I was pretty stoked with this news, I’ve never played any of the AC games but they’ve always looked good.
I thought I’d check the Apple App Store to see if there were any other AC games that might already be out and there was only one option (actually on some ‘App Store Preview’ thing not the actual app store), called Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It was listed as free to play with in-app-purchases. I’m really just not participating in that, can’t stand that shit. I don’t think I’ve actually bought any Ubisoft games since the Nintendo 64, are they all like this or is that just some unfortunate anomaly? I noticed also that it’d listed them collecting data about me, which, WTF?
Keen to wait till November for AC Shadows but not if it’s going to be any of that nonsense.
We don’t know. If I guess, it will be a full priced 69 Dollar game with 100 Dollar special edition for preorder. Other than that, Ubisoft is desperate and they said they won’t do this microtransaction shit they did before, so the integrity of the actual game is kept. I believe it when I see it, but that’s what they said. They even want to release it on Steam without the Ubisoft launcher on PC. Hell thats an improvement!
If the game truly has no bullshit, then I might check it out. Didn’t play an Assassins Creed since Black Flag on the Xbox 360. And I like Japan, so good oppurnity to hit me.
